Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger call it quits

The couple parts ways after two years of marriage

Singer Avril Lavigne has announced her split from Chad Kroeger, her husband of two years. The pop star took to Instagram to reveal the sad news with a photo of the two of them and a touching caption.

"It is with heavy heart that Chad and I announce our separation today. Through not only the marriage, but the music as well, we've created many unforgettable moments. We are still, forever will be, the best of friends, and will always care deeply for each other," Avril wrote. "To all our family, friends and fans, thank you sincerely for the support."

We hope Avril will be okay; it can't be easy to cope with Lyme disease and a second divorce (she was previously married to Deryck Whibley of Sum 41). While the news comes as a shock to us, a source told E! News that their separation had been in the works for awhile now.

"At the end of the day, they just didn't see eye to eye on a lot of things," the source adds. "Their friends and their social circles never really mixed." Well, there you have it. Stay strong, you two.
